Jones faces up to life in prison for his plea to two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. He also entered a plea to second-degree CSC, identity theft and false pretenses of $1,000 but less than $20,000.

Sentencing is set for March 3.

Police said Jones lied to community members who set up "multiple fundraisers" to assist him. He also created a fraudulent doctor's note, purporting to confirm a leukemia diagnosis when people became suspicious of his claims.

Authorities believe Jones possibly received between $200-300 from the fundraisers while more than $1,000 had been donated. The remaining funds did not make it to Jones' account, authorities said.

In a separate case, Jones is accused of giving a teenager alcohol and chewing tobacco as he tried to "break down the child's defenses, which allowed him to engage in the sexual contact," authorities said.

Howell Hurricanes Wrestling Club officials said in an earlier statement that a criminal background check was completed prior to Jones' starting the 2014-2015 season. The background check "did not show any criminal history," leaders with the organization wrote in a letter sent to their wrestling families.
